Empty minds are shaped to be evil by Daily soaps…


The Daily Soaps Opera is the business, affecting how and what people think. To believe that people are able to disregard everything they perceive in the entertainment media because the scenarios presented aren't literally "true," or because they are loosely staged simulations of reality (as in "reality" shows), we would also have to believe that people disregard all messages in advertising, since ads commonly present actors and models in simulated situations. But that is simply not how the human mind works. In order for an entertainment show or commercial to be effective, the audience must identify in some way with the characters and what they are doing, even if some aspects of the situation are "unrealistic."
As we all know women are more interested in Daily soaps than that of men’s ration and after doing all the household work the only option left for them is to watch the repeated episodes of the serials. Though they have seen the same episode a day before the interest is not lost they still like to watch it again and again. And as the Bullet Theory all the melodramatic Seans hits the minds of the viewer and its results to the manipulation of that same events in real life.

Most people would probably admit that this very ad has some positive general influence on society's view of women in the workplace. And as India is a country were women are more attached toward the emotional part and they are very concern about the character in the serial as if they are someone special to them. This mentality leads to a very in-depth dilemma of relating to a particular character as if they are seeing themselves in that particular situation. And even in some of the melodramatic situations in the daily soaps they also try thinking and behaving like that particular character. The best example is of Tulsi from SAAS BHE KABHE BAHU THE… everyone including me, if try to portrait any Indian daughter in law the first image which comes in our mind will be of Tulsi.
